I’m trying to get the 6th args that were in string.split, but instead it returns nil.

local Cache = script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("cache")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local SavedFolder = LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild("carsSaved")
--local ProUI = require(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.MainModule)
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Viewport = script.Parent

local components = {
	label = Viewport.Parent:FindFirstChild("carName"),
	decal = Viewport:FindFirstChild("decalPreview"),
	sound = Viewport:FindFirstChildOfClass("Sound"),
	license = Viewport:FindFirstChild("licensePreview"),
	soundButton = Viewport:FindFirstChild("soundPause"),
	left = Viewport:FindFirstChild("controlB"),
	right = Viewport:FindFirstChild("controlA")
}

local Format = "name~carColor~logoColor~decal~license~audio"
local Page = 1

local function viewCar(carModel)
	local currentPage = SavedFolder:FindFirstChild("Slot"..Page)
	
	if not currentPage.Value == Format then -- Checks if the value is different
		if Viewport:FindFirstChildOfClass("Model") then
			Viewport:FindFirstChildOfClass("Model").Parent = Cache
		end
		
		carModel.Parent = Viewport

If you print:

print(string.split("name~carColor~logoColor~decal~license~audio","~"))

image
You get the correct output. When you split currentPage.Value, it probably doesn’t have a 6th argument, try printing the Value and see what it is!

try write

local slotData = tostring(currentPage.Value):split("~") instead.

The value and the format has the same string, but for the StringValue, the string prints nil for the 6th string

It seems that it now works after I reset my datastore.
